Rev210,

How many bottles of coke do you have in the passenger seat? I think you should be issued with a special license to own a Skyline, and if you mistreat the car inside/outside/mechanical then your license is revoked.

At present there are about a dozen empty bottles of 'V' and Lift plus, various chip packets and gum wrappers, print samples and brouchures on the floor.

I clean inside car when they reach the passenger knee level.

I clean outside the car when all the windows have been obscured by grime,dead bugs and bird poo.

lalalalalal ... I CAN'T HEAR YOU ..lalalalala

I don't want to hear any more. Your EVIL!

Do you take the rubbish out for the drags? You'd probably gain a second.

Does rubbish fall out of the car as you exit? No don't tell me, I don't want to know.

We'd better stop this conversation before I am physically sick.

At the Drags:

I had over a hundred kilo's of brouchures in the boot. Two printers in the back seat and a box of stuff in the front seat. Suprise suprise I actually cleaned out the floor of rubbish. Rob77 witnessed it and I took pictures with my digital camera on the night.

It's my work vehicle after all.:)

Alright, to get this thread back on topic, I spoke to the guy who runs the ceramic coaters. He was extremely helpful and enthusiastic, which goes a long way, and was keen for me to visit him, not taking the 'line along the track, and see what he can do. Not only can he do coating of the front pipes, dump pipes, exhaust manifold and turbo exhaust housing, but he can also thermally protect head and valves, create thermal barriers etc, on all types of metals.

I will most likely visit him in the next couple of days to get more precise quotes, and once I have them I'll let you know. If there is anything you'd like me to ask then let me know.

His contact details are:

Competition Coatings

0500 899 988 (I know it looks like a bullshit no., but it works)

I am interested in the exhaust side of things. Is it cheaper to treat a average exhaust than get a stainless steel version?

Say a stainless exhuast for a Commodore is say $700 a mid steel would be around $200 less.

Personally I would rather have 3" mid steel coated unit than a stainless one.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By SteveL · Posted

      I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
